Team Orion Vortex SL & 1:36 BL Categories - Team Orion, Motors, Electric, Products - 1 comment so far 
Yesterday we showed you the first pictures of the production Vortex Experience and Micro 1/18 brushless motors from Team Orion. Today we have more first pictures from the Swiss company, this time from the brushless Vortex SL, a line of sensorless motors that have been designed for those racers that want high performance on a budget, with a speed version and a high torque version set to be released. Also new is the Vortex 1:36, a BL motor that brings larger scale performance to the smallest scales of racing cars, and when sold will be initially available in 2 different versions - 9500KV and 10300KV.

Team Orion Vortex Experience & Micro BL Categories - Team Orion, Motors, Electric, Products - 1 comment so far 
We already showed you the first pic of the production version of the Vortex Race BL motor last week and now we have some more first images from Team Orion. Pictured above is the final production version of the Vortex Experience Touring Combo, developed for those who are not yet wanting to invest in race or sensored systems but would still like race winning performance. Supplied with a sensorless speed controller, the motor features a centre barrel of real carbon fibre to create a tuned magnetic field, making the Experience the optimum solution for those with brushless RTR’s that wish to take it to the next level. Also new is the Vortex Micro 1/18 BL motor, for 1/18th scale vehicles to achieve new levels of tuning and performance that their 1/10th big brothers currently have.

Novak HV BL Motor with 5mm Shaft Categories - Novak, Motors, Electric, Products - add a comment
Novak have released some additions to their range of HV High Voltage brushless motors, with the introduction of these 5mm shaft versions. These 550-size sensored brushless motors are available in four motor winds 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5, and include a Sintered rotor with a rugged 5mm output shaft. The HV Series is ideal for monster trucks, converted electric 1/8-scale vehicles and vehicles requiring massive power output. Additionally, the motors are sensor-based, so they always know the position of the rotor, which provides excellent starting torque and continuous synchronization for smooth, controlled low-speed driveability and consistent brakes. The HV-Series of motors also features a shielded sensor cable with sheathed sensor wires and a completely rebuildable design.

Team Orion Vortex Race BL motor Categories - Team Orion, Motors, Electric, Products - comments closed
Team Orion have announced the upcoming release of their Vortex Race Brushless motor, the result of 24 months of work by Oscar Jansen to create the ultimate brushless motor. The Vortex Race motors are the company’s top of the line BL competition motors and as such are designed to be powerful and highly efficient. Brushless technology increases power output and efficiency to push vehicles to faster speeds with increased run times and with no brushes, springs, or commutators to maintain, drivers can spend more time improving their driving skills and car set-ups rather than performing motor rebuilds. Its versatile design allows it to be used with today’s leading sensored and sensorless brushless ESCs. Available in 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 10.5 and 13.5, they will hit the shops worldwide in the next 10 days.

CS Electronic 9.5T Super Sport BL Motor Categories - CS Electronic, Motors, Electric, Products - comments closed 
CS Electronic have released their DMC approved 9.5T Super Sport brushless motor. Made using the same high quality components as in their CS-Magnetic Modified motor series, the can has cooling slots, while the rotor features a cooling fan which together helps reduce the operating temperature and therefore increasing efficiency. Aimed at club spec racing, the motor has its wind information etched into the can for easy identification and tamper resistance.
